Doing a M+2 and calling other people noobs… sorry but that’s just pathetic, the leader can set whatever requirements he/she wants regardless to skill so deal with it.
If you want to do a M+2 just do a regular mythic, make your own group and stop generalizing, noob.
There are 2 things going on:
1- This week is weekly quest is running 4 mythic dungeons to get 400 item.
2- Starting last week, season 2 started which unlocked new gear for crafting professions. You need to do 15 mythic dungeons to collect tidalcore needed to craft a 385, which you can later upgrade to 400 and then 415.
The above 2 reasons are giving high ilvl people incentive to run a lot of mythic dungeons. I personally ran 15 dungeons. If you are going to tell me because I am 400 ilvl, I should run them all at +10 in pugs, I would say “no thanks”. I ran only one 10 for the weekly chest, and the rest I did at +2 to +5 with even some m0.
Call me a noob if you want, but I wanted to get it done fast. And yes, probably as a result of groups accepting me, some 370 ilvl players got declined.
Once the weekly quest is over, and enough people get their 15x tidalcores and craft their items, it will be back to normal.
If you want reliably compete for dps spot in pugs you have to make friends who would want reliably play with you. Untill then you stuck forever in neverending circle of “cant get invite without gear - cant get gear without invite”. Starting own group is not really solution, because being in one of 3 +5 underrot groups made of 3 dps wont get you to dungeon in any meaningful time.
Own keys matters only at 10 and higher, there you will get full group for your key without much troubles. If you can tank or heal you can push key to 10+ playing those roles then switch to dps, if you play non meta dps only class then pretty much forget about pug world.
After the mythic+ I did yesterday I can understand why players wants others to overgear content when so many don’t even know tactics so long into the expansion or even find the interupt button
im 390 and yesterday I was getting insta declined for a solid half hour on groups that were just 1 dps short on the one I got into after that I was top dps and provided lock cookies interpts etc and was thanked at the end of it but was then asked why don’t you have raider io
y my sub ends tomorrow and im not renweing it coz im too god for this game. i need more complexity thats why ill roll some final fantasy or tbc priv server
This, a lot of people just joined any random key for a dungeon to get it on their scoresheet and work up after that.
Also it is possible they could be applying to groups where someone just didn’t do a key because of holiday, work whatever the week before and wants to push from +2 to +5 right away in one run.
